Described by Colm Chambers as 'a series of wooden stakes in the mudflats of the Owenabue estuary between Carrigaline and Crosshaven in the townland of Hoddersfield, County Cork. A 20m to 30m section of the structure is visible 10m to 30m from the shore. There are perhaps 20-30 roundwood stakes measuring between 10cm and 15cm in diameter and projecting 20cm to 30cm above the mudflat. I sent Aidan O'Sullian of UCD photographs of this structure and he said it is "almost certainly a fishtrap [...] it looks medieval (10th-15th century)".
